Pristine uninhabited places you should visit to soothe your senses

Life is an adventure they say. And the best way to get the most of it is to live it wholeheartedly. Sadly, this doesn’t happen for some individuals who get sucked up into the so called mechanical grind of everyday life. Fortunately though, this gives one a more steadfast excuse to just escape from these rigors once in a while, to just leave everything and head off to a remote destination devoid of the civilization and other disturbances of city life, to just relax and celebrate life the way it comes! And when it comes to choosing a remote, undisturbed location for that getaway, these are the places that would probably top the list.

The Auckland Islands in New Zealand

Forming a part of the Sub Antarctic Islands in New Zealand, the Auckland Islands are uninhabited and used to house Polynesian settlements way back in the 13th century. The islands themselves were discovered way back in 1806, but remain deserted to this day.

Visiting these islands would definitely be a kind of ‘Robinson Crusoe’ adventure for many. Stunning landscapes, beautiful beaches, eerie ancient settlement sites and of course no people around for miles on end. All these make the island a must visit for those who crave some peace and quiet, and some quality time with Mother Nature.

Alkmaar in Netherlands

Located in North Holland, Alkmaar is one of those place that would remind you of the peaceful life that can be hardly experienced in the cities. Considered as an excellent tourist trap locations for those who want to get off the radar and experience nature at its best, the destination offers some really stunning locales that would leave you spellbound for sure!

Take for example, the countless rows of tulip fields found in the region that would transport you into a colorful, scented world as you breathe in the fresh air and get lost in the vibrancy of the differentcolors surrounding you.

The Ball’s Pyramid in Australia

One look at the gigantic Ball’s Pyramid in Australia is enough to leave you awestruck for moments on end, thanks mainly to its odd location in the center of the sea. Jutting out of the sea with no support whatsoever, this rock island was formed millions of years ago as a result of volcanic activity and is actually the remnant of a giant volcano that was swallowed up by the Pacific Ocean.

Uninhabited and ready to explore (the island was first explored in 1965) , the Ball’s Pyramid is over 1844 feet high and houses one of the rarest insects in the world, the so called Lord Howe Island Stick Insect.

The Havasu Falls and Havasupai Reservation

Most of us who visit the Grand Canyon in Colorado, USA tend to take the popular routes and leave out the uninhabited ones. Surprisingly, these are the trails that contain some of the most secluded and stunning natural wonders in the region, and possibly on earth.

Take for instance the extremely secluded Havasu Falls located in the Havasupai Reservation region. Named after the Havasupai tribe that inhabited the region for more than 800 years, the site is home to some of the brightest and most colorful rocks and waterfalls you can see in the entire region.

The spectacular view would leave you wanting for more. And in addition to just watching it silently, you can opt to swim in an area of the pool located behind the falls and explore a rocky cavern located right behind the pool. Definitely one of the best and most peaceful ways to enjoy this tourist trap!

The Cocos Island

Located in the Pacific Ocean at a distance of 300 miles from Costa Rica is the Cocos Island. Covered for the most part by dense forests, and inhabited only by the officers belonging to the Costa Rican Park Ranger program, the island can be visited by tourists only after prior permission is obtained from these authorities.

The main reason people flock to this off-beat destination is its stunning underwater beauty that can be experienced via scuba diving tours. Another popular reason to visit the island is the rumor pertaining to hordes and hordes of treasures being buried on its shores. So why not opt for some diving lessons, and go treasure hunting in the process?

The Barn Nr Austwick in Yorkshire Dales

Cut off from the mainland by massive glaciers, the Barn Nr Austwick are a series of ‘U’ shaped valleys covered with green pastures and meadows, and the occasional proof of ancient inhabitants; dry stone walls. Situated close to Northern England, the region is also home to one of the biggest limestone cave systems in the United Kingdom, thereby attracting plenty of avid cavers from around the world.

The Maldives Desert Islands

Of the 1190 coral islands that make up the Maldivian archipelago in the Indian Ocean, only 200 or so islands are inhabited by the locals while another 88 islands have been transformed into world class tourist resorts. This pretty much leaves the rest of the islands in this region uninhabited and ready to explore.

Most of these uninhabited islands actually feature in ‘Desert Island Trips’ organized by the resorts. So hop onto a boat and embark on an adventure to discover your very own island where you can just relax by the beach, enjoy swims in the crystal clear waters by the shore, explore the stunning underwater reef for diverse marine life and enjoy one of the best sunsets in the entire world. Definitely something to soothe your nerves for sure!
